I'm developing an matching system in java using opencv the system accept an image with one object which is coin in order to determine the value of the currency.
What I did : 1-Convert image to gray level. 2-Use edge detection in the gray image the output of this step is used as input of the next step. 3-Use SIFT to find the feature descriptors. 4-Use SVM by storing the SIFT descriptors to predict the value of image.
BUT this algorithm does not give good result. 1-what can I do in order to enhance this algorithm, 2- what is the best SVM params that is suitable for this case . 3-what is the appropriate edge detection for this purpose.
Any suggestion please. Note that in the number of coins types are five.
